Hey when you say this is an “Expedia template” what do you mean? does it mean that this template can be used with the expedia affiliate program? (ian.com).

If so, what would be the process to integrate the ian pages with the pages of the WP install? Expedia says that you need to upload header, sidebar and footer in html o htm files, how can i generate those out of the php that comes in the WP theme.
